Failure Isn't Really Failure - Season 2, Episode 7

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2445514/fan_mail/new] Thanks so much for joining us! Our special guest today is Rebecca J. Kenna, an artist who works in watercolor, pen and ink, and pencil, and a writer whose first novel is coming out this summer. She is also launching her publishing company/imprint soon. And she has a fabulous phrase that she teaches all of her students, encouraging them to apply it not only to their writing or art, but to their lives as a whole, which is to “Fail Magnificently.” So with that, on today’s show, we’ll be chatting with Rebecca about her art and writing, and her life, and the topic of Failure - with the specific goal to begin the process of reframing the way we look at failure.  Links and References and Mentions: Rebecca's Art Website [https://www.rjkenna.com/]  Dave Hill, Jr.  [https://www.davehilljr.com/] Doubt Riding Shotgun, by Dave Hill, Jr. [https://www.davehilljr.com/blog/my-book-doubt-riding-shotgun] Bittersweet - by Susan Cain [https://susancain.net/book/bittersweet/] Chelsea Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/artist/5pC0sv2owewxT0u7moL7Pe?si=6A6QAveCQUq-yf9GNkIbfQ] Christy Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/artist/2FBHoxFWv0iDmfVMAQl4h6?si=ZkO6rhamRWaqHv7JmPZI6A] The Creative Download Podcast website [https://thecreativedownloadpodcast.com/] Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/thecreativedownload/support] Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/thecreativedownloadpodcast/] YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@TheCreativeDownloadPodcast]
